How are they different from priests & bishops?

A bishop is an ordained or consecrated member of the Christian clergy who is generally entrusted with a position of authority and oversight.

A priest is a person authorized to perform the sacred rites of a religion, especially as a mediatory agent between humans and deities.

Deacons do the rest of the work in church .

RCIA

Periods 2, 5 and 6

RCIA The process through which interested

adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.

During this process individuals gather with other members of the faith community to reflect upon the Sunday Scripture readings so they can understand Catholic beliefs and the call to a faith community.

People are free to leave this process anytime.

The faith community promises to support, pray for you and encourage you.

Some parishes could take longer. Because the new

members are better educated in the facts of

faith, community, ministry, and responsibility.
